Spirited Ulster edged out by Ospreys despite battling display

Ulster 8-16 Ospreys

While last week, the Welshmen were able to toy with Ulster, they found things a little more difficult in the back-to-back fixture, but still had enough to ease home without finding top gear.

Ulster, though playing with more venom of late at the breakdown, did not trouble the visitors in the red zone and it was no surprise when indiscipline allowed the Welshmen to ease in front when James Hook rattled over two rapid-fire penalties in the 11th and 14th minutes.
